On Sunday, December 5th, 2010 at 2:02 p.m.,
Mrs. Abramowitz emailed Mr. Abramowitz:
Dear Harold,
Saturday, November 13th, was the third anniversary of the day Theodore and Harriet left my care (and homeschool) and went to live with you (and attend public school).
Three years is long enough to wait and see if things could get better between us and make joint custody possible...
As I've now written (and attorney Rick Wirick has written) several times, I need to meet with the children's court-ordered therapist.
I understand why you wouldn't want to go on paying for them to see a therapist (despite the court order), but then I think it's unfair that you're still insisting (based on a court order) that I have a Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) monitor.
Your continual insistence on a 'monitor' is, in itself, a form of PAS.
These are issues I'd rather discuss with a therapist or mediator as we move forward,
but you won't respond to my requests for meetings,
and neither you nor your attorney have responded to my attorney.
I am getting bills from the County Child Support Services for more than $35,000.
Last year (2009), at Charles Ver Hoeve's request, $5,000 (50 percent) was garnished from my Cleveland Chiropractic College wages.
I was not served regarding the child support hearing and, although Judge Convey's court reporter was present, there is no transcript of that 12/9/08 hearing. The amount of child support ordered must have been based on my income prior to losing the children and my career (2007). Technically, the wage garnishment hearing wasn't legal [Family Law Code 215]. And neither was the transfer from Department 63 (Goldstein) to Department 27 (Convey) [L.A. Superior Court Rules 14.5]. Incidentally, Judge Convey left Stanley Mosk on November 1st to go to (of all ironic places) Van Nuys.
Harold, I will never be able to pay you child support unless I have a reason to live and work and earn.
When the children were taken from me three years ago, I was supporting the family (without any financial help from you), as I had during the prior two years since our separation (July,2005).
As you may remember, I was doing the homeschool with Harriet and Theodore (along with other part time students) and intending to turn the work into a Ph.D. (Antioch) that would make me academically employable once the children were older and more independent.
Now, I earn less than $2,000 per month, am back in debt (after having started to recover from our 2005 bankruptcy), and, like many women my age and in my situation, have few prospects.
I have been trying to fit into the new life you've built for the children and make the possibility of 'joint' custody (as you originally requested) easy by being right across the street.
I am currently able to offer daily after-school care as in-kind child support.
The children could move freely between our homes without you having to interact with me.
I understand that I should stay away from you, that you and your family want nothing to do with me, although I think it would be better for Harriet and Theodore if you and I (and your father and sisters) could, at least, be cordial with each other.
Harriet said that you told her you saw us (unmonitored, by the way) at El Coyote (9-26-10), but that you didn't want to come over and say, 'hi,' so as 'not to interrupt your time with your mother.'
Had you briefly greeted us (instead of feeling you had to leave), I would have been so happy and I think the children would have felt great relief. But if you decided not to greet us, then why would you mention seeing us to Harriet?
Again, this is why I want to talk to the therapist;
I don't get it and I guess,
even after all of these years (23),
I don't suppose I ever will.
Clearly, Harriet and Theodore respect your authority and know that you are 'in charge' of them.
I'm glad that you and your family have, and will continue to have, a relationship with the children, but I don't like the way you and your family have treated me, and I think it's a bad example for Harriet and Theodore.
I've spoken with Child Support Services. You can write a letter and withdraw your claim against me.
If you don't, then (assuming I would participate in that system) the next step would be for me to file a claim against you for back child support (2005 - 2007).
We would keep lots of clerks busy and lots of notices would continue to be sent at the taxpayers' expense.
(I usually get one a week, and occasional recorded phone messages).
In the meantime, every hour of energy that we devote to that pursuit will be an hour of energy not spent earning money or spending time with the children.
If you (and your family) are not willing to respect me, my humanity, then it's (possibly) better for the children that I bow out and let you all get on with it. As you well know, none of this has been good for my health, and my mother and my uncle both died of stress-induced cancer when they were only a few years older than I am now.
The children want/need to celebrate Shabbat with me on Friday nights. I am right across the street. They ask you every week, even when they know their request will be ignored or denied, and for that, I am so proud of them.
Again, unless our situation changes, these are issues I need to discuss with the children's court-ordered therapist.
If you continue to insist on monitored visits, then the court order regarding the therapist needs to be honored, as well.
Three years is long enough.
Sincerely,
Mira-Lani

Hello Harold.
Today is Mother's Day.
I believe that Harriet and Theodore still want/need to see me, their mother.
If that is no longer the case, or if those entrusted by the state with protecting Harriet and Theodore's best interests have decided that it is better for the children not to see their 'odd and bizarre' (Dupee, S., 2008) mother after two-and-a-half years of 'treatment' for Richard Gardner's Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), please advise.
According to my attorney, neither the children's counsel, John E. Carlson (Carlson & Greenberg), nor the children's therapist, Dr. Linda Bortell, have responded to his attempts at communication.
I expect to see Harriet and Theodore at 12:30 p.m..

Paying court-ordered child support is among the most basic and important responsibilities of a non-custodial parent. A parent who is able to pay child support and, without lawful excuse, fails to do so may be guilty of a misdemeanor under Penal Code Section 270 [Failure to Provide] and/or Penal Code Section 166(a)(4) [Contempt of Court].

I totally understand that child-support is important. Since I supported and cared for the children on my own from June, 2005 until November, 2007, I know how hard it is to do it alone. I know I can save our 'family' a great deal of money by providing after-school care for the children. Despite the fact that [L.A. Superior Family Court Department 27] court reporter Linda Lyman, CSR #4166, was present and working that day, there is no transcript of the December 9th, 2008 ex parte hearing at which Commissioner [Michael J.] Convey made the order for child support. Since your attorney, Charles Ver Hoeve, never served me with the papers, I was not able to provide information about my post-traumatic financial situation.

Mrs. Abramowitz emailed Mr. Abramowitz:
Hello Harold.
I'm still waiting to receive an answer from you about this Sunday's visit.
Harriet and Theodore informed me that they will be flying (by themselves) to Mammoth to stay with your sister, Judy Faye Abramowitz, while you are attending the Associated Writing Programs (AWP) 2010 Conference in Colorado.
Will Harriet and Theodore be back in time for our visit on Sunday?
It appears from the AWP Conference Schedule that you are performing on Saturday evening:
7:30PM
Location: The Thin Man Tavern, 2015 E 17th Ave Denver...Join us for a reading by the writers of three radical women-run presses—Chiasmus Press, Fairy Tale Review Press, and Les Figues Press—featuring Harold Abramowitz, Amina Cain, Teresa Carmody, Ashley McWaters, Alissa Nutting, Lance Olsen, Vanessa Place, Lidia Yuknavitch, and Kate Zambreno (AWP, 2010).
Will Harriet and Theodore be back in time for our visit on Sunday?
Would you like to move the visiting time until a little later in the day?
Will Judy be bringing Harriet and Theodore to my apartment?
Should I pick them up at your father's house in Van Nuys?
Will the children be calling me from Judy's?
Please feel free to give Judy my telephone number.
While you have, as attorney Charles A. Ver Hoeve mentioned, 'unilaterally' changed some of the court orders (Ver Hoeve, 2009), it is clear that you are still zealously intent on enforcing the court order requiring my having monitored (as opposed to unmonitored) visits with the children. For more than two years now, Harriet, Theodore, and I have demonstrated acceptance of your rights as the custodial/primary parent and obedience to your court-ordered authority over us.
Obviously, if you were to 'unilaterally' decide that Harriet, Theodore and I no longer needed a monitor for our visits, and since I live right across the street from you, I could be extremely flexible about visiting times (and, additionally, provide no-cost after-school care).
In the meantime, respectfully, once I have successfully scheduled with the monitor, I must insist on having these important weekly visits.
Therefore, I expect to see Harriet and Theodore at on Sunday, April 11th.
Please have them ready on time.

Hello Harold.
Thank you for finally sending a reply email.
Unfortunately, it had no content.
Tori, and I will pick Harriet and Theodore up on Sunday at 12:30 p.m..
The children's weekly visits with me are court-ordered.
Because of your continued insistence on monitors [ostensibly to guard against Richard Gardner's Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)], I am not able to be flexible with regard to the regular Sunday schedule.
So far, we have had more than 27 months of monitored visits.
Once you feel sufficiently 'un-alienated' (emotionally ready?) for the children and I to have unmonitored visits,
I will be able to be absolutely flexible and will devote myself to indulging your scheduling needs.
Until that time comes, if you, personally, are not returning to Los Angeles by Sunday, Tori and I will expect either your sister, Judy Abramowitz, or your father, Nathan (Nate) Abramowitz, to have Harriet and Theodore ready on time.
Thank you.

While you have, as attorney Charles A. Ver Hoeve mentioned, 'unilaterally' changed some of the court orders (Ver Hoeve, 2009), it is clear that you are still zealously intent on enforcing the court order requiring my having monitored (as opposed to unmonitored) visits with the children. For more than two years now, Harriet, Theodore, and I have demonstrated acceptance of your rights as the custodial/primary parent and obedience to your court-ordered authority over us.
Obviously, if you were to 'unilaterally' decide that Harriet, Theodore and I no longer needed a monitor for our visits, and since I live right across the street from you, I could be extremely flexible about visiting times (and, additionally, provide no-cost after-school care).
In the meantime, respectfully, once I have successfully scheduled with the monitor, I must insist on having these important weekly visits.
Therefore, I expect to see Harriet and Theodore at on Sunday, April 11th.
Please have them ready on time.

Hello Harold.
Thank you for finally sending a reply email.
Unfortunately, it had no content.
Tori, and I will pick Harriet and Theodore up on Sunday at 12:30 p.m..
The children's weekly visits with me are court-ordered.
Because of your continued insistence on monitors [ostensibly to guard against Richard Gardner's Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)], I am not able to be flexible with regard to the regular Sunday schedule.
So far, we have had more than 27 months of monitored visits.
Once you feel sufficiently 'un-alienated' (emotionally ready?) for the children and I to have unmonitored visits,
I will be able to be absolutely flexible and will devote myself to indulging your scheduling needs.
Until that time comes, if you, personally, are not returning to Los Angeles by Sunday, Tori and I will expect either your sister, Judy Abramowitz, or your father, Nathan (Nate) Abramowitz, to have Harriet and Theodore ready on time.
Thank you.
Best,
Mira-Lani

March Visitations, Theodore's Birthday, and Passover

Hi, Harold.
I hope that you are well and that the time change I am asking for can be worked out. I am able to do Sundays, from 11 am to 5 pm. Please let me know. Too much to mention is going on at this time. I, as you, see the importance of Harriet and Theodore to see their mother for the few hours they do every weekend.
For Theodore's birthday what time would be convenient for us to see him?

I hate to make a big deal over such a small time difference, but our schedule is very tight with work and school and, thus, the weekends are very compressed as it is.

February Visitations

Lynda L. Rascón emailed Mr. Abramowitz:
Hi Harold. I hope that you find yourself well. I have Great news. I am expecting a baby again and hopefully everything will go well. If you would please help me have Sundays to stay home and take care of those little things that need to be done by changing our visits to Saturdays.
During this month of February, I have Gymnastics with my nieces until 1:30 pm and would like to have the visits from 2:30 pm to 8:30 pm on Saturdays. From March on, we will finish gymnastics at 11 am and can begin the visits anytime after 12:00 pm.
Also, I would like to ask if we could have a dinner get together on Harriet's birthday, Friday, February 12th.
For February 13th and 14th I will be at a Gymnastics meet and will be unable to have a visit unless you would like for Harriet and Theodore to go with us to the meet at the Universal Studios Hilton on both or either days. Lani, of course, would go with us to enjoy the competition hosted by the All Olympia Gymnastics that Claudette goes to where Elite Gymnasts compete for the opportunity to go to the Gymnastics Visa Championship.
Please let me know what we can do.

Hi Lynda,
Congratulations on your wonderful news! And best to you and your, now expanded, family.
Unfortunately, after two years, moving visitations to Saturday will not work within our schedule. I'm so sorry. I hope you and Lani will be able to work something out so Harriet and Theodore's regular Sunday visitations can continue without interruption.
I am open to Harriet and Theodore accompanying you and their mother to the gymnastics meet on Sunday the 14th, again as long as this can be worked out, and, if other times are necessary that day, worked out in advance.
I am also open to there being a birthday dinner for Harriet, but I am not certain about the day and time. When our plans for Harriet's birthday are finalized, I will coordinate with you and Lani.
Please let me know what you intend to do about this coming week as soon as you are able.
Thank you, and, again, congratulations.
Best,
Harold
On Thursday, February 4th at 10:58 p.m.,
Lynda L. Rascón emailed Mr. Abramowitz:
Hi, Harold.
I was hoping that you would like the change to Saturdays, since as parents we know that Sunday evenings we tend to prepare the children for the school week.
I was not aware of Harriet and Theodore having activities the way that Claudette does on Saturdays with Gymnastics. It could also be possible for Lani and I to take them to their activities if you like.
I was under the impression that over the past four months the consistency of the weekly visits and not the specific day (Sunday) was what was in the children's best interest.
I am still in the early stages of pregnancy and hopefully I will be able to continue the visitations on Sundays. I am Diabetic and almost 40 years old, so you can imagine I am a high-risk pregnancy and have miscarried 8 times over the past 9 years. I will make every effort to work with you regarding the day and times. I find it of the utmost importance for these visits to continue.
For Sunday, February 7th I am available anytime after 11 am. Please let me know the earliest possible time that will work for the children.
We are still asking for a Dinner Celebration for Harriet on her 12th Birthday, Friday, February 12th. Please let us know what is convenient.
Over the weekend of the 13th and 14th I will be volunteering at the Gymnastics meet and would not be able to pick up the children or stay with them during the meet. Lani is able to pick them up and keep them with her if you would like.
For the 3rd and 4th weekend please see if you can change schedules around for us to change the visits to Saturdays.

Mr. Abramowitz emailed Lynda L. Rascón and Cc'd Mrs. Abramowitz:
Hi Lynda,
Congratulations on your wonderful news! And best to you and your, now expanded, family.
Unfortunately, after two years, moving visitations to Saturday will not work within our schedule. I'm so sorry. I hope you and Lani will be able to work something out so Harriet and Theodore's regular Sunday visitations can continue without interruption.
I am open to Harriet and Theodore accompanying you and their mother to the gymnastics meet on Sunday the 14th, again as long as this can be worked out, and, if other times are necessary that day, worked out in advance.
I am also open to there being a birthday dinner for Harriet, but I am not certain about the day and time. When our plans for Harriet's birthday are finalized, I will coordinate with you and Lani.
Please let me know what you intend to do about this coming week as soon as you are able.
Thank you, and, again, congratulations.
Best,
Harold

Lynda L. Rascón emailed Mr. Abramowitz:
Hi, Harold.
I was hoping that you would like the change to Saturdays, since as parents we know that Sunday evenings we tend to prepare the children for the school week.
I was not aware of Harriet and Theodore having activities the way that Claudette does on Saturdays with Gymnastics. It could also be possible for Lani and I to take them to their activities if you like.
I was under the impression that over the past four months the consistency of the weekly visits and not the specific day (Sunday) was what was in the children's best interest.
I am still in the early stages of pregnancy and hopefully I will be able to continue the visitations on Sundays. I am Diabetic and almost 40 years old, so you can imagine I am a high-risk pregnancy and have miscarried 8 times over the past 9 years. I will make every effort to work with you regarding the day and times. I find it of the utmost importance for these visits to continue.
For Sunday, February 7th I am available anytime after 11 am. Please let me know the earliest possible time that will work for the children.
We are still asking for a Dinner Celebration for Harriet on her 12th Birthday, Friday, February 12th. Please let us know what is convenient.
Over the weekend of the 13th and 14th I will be volunteering at the Gymnastics meet and would not be able to pick up the children or stay with them during the meet. Lani is able to pick them up and keep them with her if you would like.
For the 3rd and 4th weekend please see if you can change schedules around for us to change the visits to Saturdays.
Blessings,
Lynda L. Rascón

As far as Harriet's birthday dinner visitation is concerned, how does Friday, Feb. 12th, from 5:00PM to 9:00PM sound?
If that works, please let me know.

Lynda L. Rascón emailed Mr. Abramowitz:
Hi, Harold. My apologies my mother was put in the hospital on Wednesday. Her kidneys shut down and she is getting Dialysis. I need to stay with her over the weekend.
Would it be possible for the kids to still visit Lani for this visit on Sunday? Even if the time is shorter, or at least for them to be able to walk over and see her and spend some time with her.
Please let me know what can be done.
Blessings,
Lynda L. Rascón

So sorry to hear about your mother. I wish her the best.
If Mira-Lani can secure monitoring for Sunday from 12:30PM to 6:30PM, it's no problem, of course.
But please let me know as soon as you can.
